Description

John Blacking is widely recognized for his theoretical works How Musical Is Man? and The Anthropology of the Body. This series of essays and articles on the music of the Venda people of the northern Transvaal in South Africa constitutes his major scholarly legacy.Venda Children's Songs presents a detailed analysis of both the music and the cultural significance of children's songs among the Venda. Among its many original contributions is the identifying of the role of melody in generating rhythm, something that distinguishes this form of music from that of Venda adults as well as from other genres of African music in general.

There is really no other place you can get this detailed and authentic information about the music of the Venda people. This book is extremely detailed in an analytical, scientific way, but it is compiled by an expert in the field who actually lived in Vendaland for 22 or so months and documented many of the childrens' songs and ritual music of these people in the sixties. The best part of the book is the musical transcriptions and translations of the songs themselves. Useful for anyone wanting information and notation for authentic South African music.
